Possets is on my to try list also, and I agree that the catalogue is overwhelming. I've gone through and and started to make a small list several times, but my list always gets too long too fast and I just give up.

UGH there is still stuff left at Moona, so now I have 2 orders. She's like a year behind on refunding shipping, so I just said goodbye $10 Now, I really need to use up all my bath shit before it gets here

Just learned something that could explain why some white florals remind me of port-a-potties. From the Wikipedia entry on the compound indole

It occurs naturally in human feces and has an intense fecal odor. At very low concentrations, however, it has a flowery smell,[3] and is a constituent of many flower scents (such as orange blossoms) and perfumes.

There's also a sale if you buy three bottles you get a free full size bottle of Vanilla Craves Spring (no code needed).

Well...I've been really into all of my Arcana's lately so I got sucked in. I bought bottles of two finger ballet, isolde, and what larks! I've been wanting to try isolde and what larks! for a while so figured I'd grab them now. I was really tempted by Vanilla craves gilt but was too afraid to blind buy a full size.

just blind bought Twirling the Pearl, Vanilla Craves Guilt and Tramp (meant to get Harlot so I messaged her lmao, i need to stop drinking and shopping), so i'm getting vanilla craves spring for free too!

this isn't like me to blind buy full size perfumes at all but they all sound up my alley and i've been wanting to try arcana for a while, and i just sold bar prep materials so this is my way to celebrate and spend the money.

Arcana is one of the only brands I'll blind buy full sizes. I mean I guess there isn't much choice since samples arent offered anyway. If I'm iffy about something I'll wait for a sample or decant circle but have been pretty lucky with my blind buys. If you don't like them they're typically pretty easy to destash as well.

I'm hoping I don't shoot myself in the foot with these blind buys. But I tried to get perfumes that have notes that I've at least encountered and know that I like. We'll see how well that works out hahahah.

In case anyone was wondering, Two Finger Ballet sold out last night but was relisted. kinda wish I had gotten it but I think I have a good variety so I'm not putting any more thought in to it.

I have Twirling the Pearl from it's original release, and a fair warning - on me, it is not very sweet. The musk and the galbanum come through quite srongly, and then a bit of the honey on the dry-down. So, it is not the sweet, sexy scent I hoped it would be! It's still nice - just thought I'd give a head's up for anyone who might prefer a softer scent. I think Two Finger Ballet is more gourmand.

I don't want to make you second guess your purchase, ha ha, I love Twirling the Pearl! It just wasn't what I expected, based on the description. It is still sooo good, though. I haven't tried ANY Arcana scents that were bad!

With that said, I really want Vanilla Craves Guilt, but the cash flow is too tight right now. Oh well, you get some you miss some, lol.

no worries at all! the more i read reviews on it the more i think i'll probably like it. i've been trying to get scents that aren't super gourmand-y since i have a lot of those, so i think twirling the pearl will be a good spring time balance.

I'm think I'll grab an emulsifying scrub and whipped soap in Milkmaid. I was just smelling my sample of this a couple days ago actually. I want a perfume sample of Ruth. I'll get a perfume sample of Eudamonia as well. This scent sounds really good to me so I might pick it up in a hair oil as well.
